Endorsed by Tea Party Express , other local Tea Party leaders, and Rand Paul. Curt Clawson, a businessman and former college basketball player soared to victory for a slam dunk in his bid to replace outgoing Radel, who was arrested for buying cocaine from an undercover agent.

He did have another female challenger who was oddly enough endorsed by both Sarah Palin and Jeb Bush. Now there's an unusual pairing wouldn't you say?

Is there a war on women? Really? If so, who's waging it? We are being fed a stream of lies about the Republicans waging a war on women. The Republican platform shows that women are respected by the party's policies. Terri Lynn Land stands up for traditional marriage which promotes stronger families and a healthier society. Land also believes in defending the lives of the most innocent among us (unborn children, many would-be women).

This may be the most ridiculous overreach I have seen yet. Craft Beer Brewers have given or sold their spent grain to farmers to use as feed for the past fifty plus years without incident. Now regulators have decided that they must step in to protect people from yet another invisible boogeyman.

It seems as though The Supreme Court has already been down this road before with Michigan. Perhaps Michigan got the message. Now if Colleges, Universities and such also get this latest Supreme Court memo, perhaps the MSM will as well.

The BLM has it's sights set on 90 thousand acres in Texas...Texas isn't having any of it. The land grabbers at the BLM have a real fight on their hands now as Attorney General Abbott says he's ready to go to the Red River and plant a flag that says "Come And Take It". We the people, apparently the people of Texas especially, are fed up with Fedzilla and their money grubbing ways. We have had enough of our land being stolen from us, our businesses being driven under, and big government bullying us. Nice to see Texas taking a tough stand on this issue. Keep fighting the good fight...if the people stand together, we can't lose.

AG Abbott will be the next Governor of Texas. His only competition is Wendy Davis.

What to say, what to say...battle lines hardening all across this country between landowners and the federal government. Does anyone really own any property any longer in this country? Are the people of this land not to be compared to the proverbial frog casually cooking in the pot of water, slowly brought to a boil? Is it boiling yet? I've felt it's heat and had to jump out of the pot. Of course there's always an adjacent pot filled with more broth.

Justice Scalia, now the longest serving Justice on the Supreme Court, speaks out about Justice Sotomayor's contention, and actual assertion, that Michigan voters are racists. Despite past Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action, Sotomayer seems to suggest that treating everyone equally, as Michigan voters have previously elected to do, is racist. By that measure I'd suppose the reverse to be true in her mind. That giving some groups special treatment is really the equitable thing to do. Is it?

I try to click in and listen to what this guy (BPEarthwatch) has to say every few days. He follows Comets, Coronal Msss Ejections, Earthquakes, Asteroids and the like. His goal seems to be giving folks the "heads-up" with regards to things that could kill a bunch of us. Like the Yellowstone Caldera for example.

Demands action? What kind of golf courses have you folks got over there? Let's mooove. After reportedly asking Ukraine Paliament members if any of them had a shotgun, Biden suggested they rack that dude, fire two blasts into the air and...let the lead fall where it may. He then turned to Ukraine's President and said, this is a big f-ing deal.

It seems to me, the "money" line in the Washington Post piece on Politico is this:

"In a long piece devoted to Politico’s Mike Allen, Wemple chronicles the confluence of advertising and journalism via a practice called “native advertising,” inserting material that looks like it could be an ordinary item written by a journalist, but which actually is paid advertising. Wemple describes native advertising as “the tricks that publishers deploy to elide the domains of journalism and advertising.” (quoted)
